The CAQ don’t care about Montreal. They will never be elected there. They represent a class of people that is in the minority in Montreal. There will be backlash, but if you’ve ever spoken to the average voter from outside of Montreal, they describe it as a hive of scum and villainy. Anything that goes to the city of Montreal is wasted in their opinion. I don’t think anyone will listen to the backlash out there.
I live in Lanaudière. My city is Montreal, I am just temporarily unhoused and had to move to a friend’s basement to shelter in until rent prices and salary meet again in the center. The shit I hear about Montreal from suburbanites is completely fucked.
